with an elegant badge by the
members Of the Social League, a
report of which is given elsewhere
in this issue.
Following came extracts from
the speeches by the men in Chi
cago, which were read by Com
rades c. Cheesewright, Cochrane,
Brophy, Jack, A. Cheesewright,
Davis, Cohen and Moran.
The reading of the extracts Gre
ated a marked impression on the
large audience, many of whom
we're surprised to hear that "the
beasts in Chicago as the capital
ist press paints those brave men,
could be capable of such burning
eloquence.
Last and best came Miss Nc
'Carthy, one of Denver's most able
women in the Cause of Truth, who,
in words of burning, blistering elo-
quence and heartfelt Indignation,
told how the tools of the rich-the
press, the pulpit and the ma
chinery of the law-were used to
crush the life out of those who
dared raise their voices against the
tyranny of legalized robbery. AT
the conclusion of the speech the
enthusiasm fairly shook old Sci
ence Hall, and one more enthusi-
astic than the rest arose and
moved a vote of thanks to Miss
Mccarthy and it was carried with
a will.
Notwithstanding the fact that
this meeting was advertised to be
an indignation meeting to pro-
test against the murderous verdict
against the labor agitators in the
Chicago Notwithstanding
this, it was the largest and grand
est yet held by the Denver Social
lists.
Before the meeting closed it
adopted unanimously the follow
ing resolutions:
WHEREAS, Eight innocent men
have been condemned, seven to
death and one to Imprisonment
for fifteen years, ostensibly for
murder, but in reality because they
have preached the truth to the
people; and
WHtRNAs, Although the rights
of free speech, impartial jury trial,
unreasonable search and seizure
and the right of not being COM
PEELED to testify against them
selves, were all violated as against
these defendants in the lower
court; and
WHEREAS, The supreme court
of the state of Illinois has now
rendered its decision on appeal in
which decision it leaves entirely
unadjudicated these vital ques-
tions and reaffirms upon perjured
testimony and by special pleading
the verdict of the lower court.
Resoioed, That as Americans we
protest against this decision as an
immense stride toward despotism
and as destructive to our constitu-
tional rights.
Resolyrd, That we earnestly urge
the Judges of the United States
supreme court to grant writ of
supersedeas so that these great
questions may be finally settled.
Resoioed, That we urge the gov
ernor of Illinois, by the exercise
of the pardoning power, to set free
those men whom corrupt capital
ism has unjustly condemned to the
gallows.

A PROTEST.
The Rocky Mountain Social
League Holds a Monster
Meeting.
The CHICAGO BOYS DEPENDED
A Grand Demonstration In Favor Of
the Principles Of Truth, Justice
and Right.

Ere the first bell in the capital
istic churches had ceased its jan
gle and discord crowd had COM
menced to gather at Science Hall
on last Sabbath evening, and be-
fore the capitalistic preacher had
given out his text, Servants obey
your masters" the hall was filled
and the aisles contained those
who desired to hear the proceed
ings of the meeting, even though
they we're compelled to stay on
their feet during the three hours
it took to complete the very full
program.
The exercises opened by the
League singing a labor hymn, Mrs.
Wood at the organ.
Mrs. Cheesewright presided and
stated in few words, but elo-
quently, that the object of the
meeting was to do our duty as
working men and women toward
the men held in the Chicago Jail
and sentenced to death for being
brave and fearless defenders of
the rights of labor.
Ed Humphreys then occupied
fifteen minutes with lucid ex-
position of some of the pertinent
points in the evidence upon which
the eight men were convicted. In
closing the speaker made an earn
est and eloquent appeal to his
hearers, many ofwhom were there
for the first time, not to PREJUDICE
them but to read up on the evil
dence and satisfy themselves that
the verdict was UNANIMOUSLY wrong.
Then followed Byron Millett in
clear legal disquisition, under
the law, of murder. The speaker
entered at length into the details
OF the evidence in the anarchist"
cases. He also pointed out the
\ fact that not one juryman was al
lowed to sit on the jury in those
IcaSes who did not admit that he
had prejudice against the defend
ants.
David Duncan, an elderly gen.
tlcman with a clerical appearance,
told how, when travelling in the
East, he had called on and con-
vcrScd with the so-called "anarch-
iSts' and found to his surprise that
they were cultivated gentlemanly
men whSe very bearing and words
showed their heart were only too
true to the Cause for which they
suffer- the Cause of the poor and
oppressed. The speaker closed
his very earnest and eloquent re-
marks by saying that ut is my be-
lief that If those men are hung it
will cause the existence Of twenty
Socialists where only one exists
to-day.
Burnette G.. Haskell prefaced
his speech by saying that he pro-
posed to speak simply as an
American citizen.
The speaker paid a splendid
tribute TO the manhood of Albert
r. Parsons who, though secure
from the officers of the law. re-
turned voluntarily to stand trial
with his companions and fellow
workers in Chicago.
Mr.. Haskell then entered into
thorough analysis Of the trials
and taking fSr basis the Ameri-
can constitution, proved, and was
applauded for his efforts, that the
Infamous verdict rendered by a
picked jury was the crowning act
ot capitalism and the most damna-
bly, Infamous conspiracy of the age.

kelTs speech he was presented

Get Bread.
A correspondent at Gallup, New
Mexico, sends the following most
damnably infamous ''iron-clad"
contract which shows that the
measures taken to enslave the
poor coal-digger in Pennsylvania
are being employed even in the
heart of the Rocky Mountains
where, it is generally supposed,
none but free men exist.
Those who sympathize with the
poor Gallup slaves could manifest
their sympathy in no better way
than in sending the ENQUIRER for
a year to the serfs of the Gallup
Coal Company. Only SI.5o per
year, and warranted to educate
the coal slaves to know why they
are in slavery.
The "iron-clad" contract reads /:

AN ANALYSIS.
The Transportation Autocrat
Would Thrive Under
Mr.. George.
THAT LAND TAX SCHEME
Cannot Solve the Problem That is SO
Urgently Requiring
Solution.

Solution.
For the ENQUIRER.
In Progress and Poverty Mr..
George claims to have proved the
truth of his propositions both by
deduction and induction. BY the
-deductive method we declare that
given such and such a condition
certain consequences must result.
By the inductive method we ap-
peal to experience as proof that
such consequences have resulted.
The fallacies in the arguments of
Messrs. Post and George seem to
me to arise from the fact that they
have steadily refused to test the
truth of their premises by the ap-
peal to induction. When Mr.. Post
declares that as owner of all the
land he could at once force the
owner of all the money to uncon-
ditional surrender, he makes a de-
duction: that the landowner is
absolutely master of the situation.
He asserts that the power of con-
trolling production is everything;
the power of controlling distribu
ton, nothing. Suppose we ap=
ply the inductive test; suppose
we condescend for a nom ut to
consider facts:
What is to-day intrinsically the
most powerful nationality in our
Western civilization? Is it the
nation that has the greatest area
of land, like Russia; the nation
that has the most richly cultivat-
ed territory, like England or the
United States? Surely these, if
the George argument is sound,
should be the wealthiest, the most
substantial, in every way the most
influential nations. Yet when we
come to study facts we find the
business of the world to-day in
the hands of nationality that
fulfils neither of these conditions.
In this Western country the farm
er may own the soil and even
though of this Mr.. George takes
small account-the implements of
production; but the question of
whether or no land be put in cul-
tivation and the forms that cult
vation shall take rests largely
with the Jew: the Jew who con-
trolls the grain exchange; the Jew
who holds the fruit trade of the
Pacific coast in the hollow of his
hand; the Jew who in Europe is
the arbiter of life or death to mil
lions-it being certain that Russia
for one would long ere this have
plunged the continent in war had
the jew given the word and ad-
vanced the "wherewithal." Why
from. all the crowd of greedy, con-
scienceless spectators do select
the Jew? Because his typical
feature is that he has never put
his trust in land.
How easy would it be to build
up, in several volumes, and unas-
sailable line of argument on the
deductive principles of George
and Post! Given the premises
that he who owns the land is mas
ter of the situation; that produc-
tion is the all important question;
and we deduce by a chain of fault
less logic the result that the Jew
who seldom owns and never pro-
duces, is economically our help
less slave. That the actual facts
in the case are just the opposite
is unfortunate, and we Socialists
feel ourselves entitled to call upon
Georges ready pen for an expla-
nation of this thusness. For what
we actually see to-day is that the
